I am amazed that he made it to the infirmary. I mean he was stabbed in the middle of drunken selfish irresponsible assholes. It's a wonder someone even thought about calling the 24th century equivalent to 911. The laughter is ridiculous, when you are stabbed THROUGH the heart with such a nasty dagger you are dead long before you can even move your lips, let alone laugh.
Personal experience talking?
Personal experience talking?
There's never been one case of someone talking, laughing, or doing anything with their heart stopped, let alone when the heart has been shredded by some nasty bade. When the heart stops, everything else does, immediately. Each time I see that scene with Picard laughing with a blade through his chest I wonder what kind of ignorant fool wrote it. In fact, I wonder about the chain of fools that allowed that scene to be part of the final cut.
Real life needs better writers then
No flair for the dramatic in your world? It's fiction, not a documentary. No fools involved, just people who understand what looks dramatic or cool. If you want a realistic portrayal of a blade through the heart there are better places to look than Star Trek.
If a blade through the heart is the breaking point for a fan IN THE STAR TREK FRANCHISE then I don't know what to say.
Guess he just doesn't have Faith of the Heart.

Assuming the heart was shredded. It's possible that only the pericardium was punctured and the heart wall damaged, rather than the heart itself being impaled.

Take your damn like and get out.
I knew one day I'd be meme-rable! And today's that day!
HAVEN'T YOU BEGUN TO FEEL PORTHOS GAINING ON YOU? HE'S LIKE A PREDATOR. HE'S STALKING YOU.
Condemn them all to death for this inexcusable offense against humanity.
Nobody tell them about Spock being reborn by regenerating as a child and then growing up all over again at a rapidly accelerated rate.
Time is the meme in which we burn.
Not to mention being cloned. And that clone being supersized. As well as being animated. Signed, Walter Koenig.
In that case, then he shouldn't need an artificial one.
I think of time as a friend who kicks you in the teeth to remind you that being kicked in the teeth hurts.
I don't question the science, however wonky - ever.
If you start doing that you'd never stop wanting to shoot your TV like Elvis Presley...
Just keep your hands and feet inside the car at all times and enjoy the ride.
